@qwerty123 It would depend on the monitor construction.

Basically you want to seal off the edges of the display.

Here is a link: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/dell2005_backlight_fix.htm

Something like that maybe.

It all depends on how your monitor is constructed inside as to whether or not you can actually block the light at all.

Finally got one. Minor light leak in bottom right corner. If I look plain white screen there's blueis/greenish cast on the left side on the panel, on right looks normal. Hard to notice in normal use. Paid extra for pixel perfect so no dead pixels.

I was hoping that refresh rate would overclock atleast to 85hz (that's why I bought "catleap" model because them used to overclock), but this seems to be locked to 60hz.

But still I'm pretty satisfied.

Yep, this one does not make any extra noises.

Btw, check http://science.su/Korean_Monitors/FAQ.html , it is big FAQ about this monitors (use Google to translate).

Purchased 3 of the Crossover LED-P. This is the basic Crossover monitor, in that it has just a DVI input, but it has swivel, portrait mode, a good stand. Crossovers are supposed to have the best stand as compared to Achieva and Catleap. I didn't go for the scaler version with more inputs as it has a lower response time and I VERY occasionally game on this machine.

Have to say these monitors are unbelievable, so well worth taking the risk (so far no trouble). I was sweating a bit with fingers crossed when setting them up to check the pixels. However, there are no dead or stuck pixels, none at all. Checked them thoroughly and used a 50% grey background. Lots of things that looked like dodgy pixels were actually dust, most blew off but some needed a little screen wipe. Dust settles very quickly on these things.

I'm running these on 2x ATI 4770s just now, so no crossfire possible, but that's not an issue to me. If I had bought these for gaming eyefinity or surround I'd have more money than sense. Next upgrade will be to an Nvidia but waiting on the Nvidia 700 series coming in March/April hopefully.

The seller I bought from was AccessoriesWhole on ebay. He has the best rep as far as I can see. If the monitor has more than 3 dead or stuck pixels total they will pay for return shipping. Can't say fairer than that. The other highly recommended seller is BigClothCraft (who thinks up these names :-)

I did not pay the premium for "pixel perfect" monitors as it doesn't seem to make much difference according to those on overclock.net, so could have easily had dead/stuck pixels (up to 3). Great service as well. They checked that the PCB was the latest green one and also got the monitor to me in 4 days (to the UK).

The panel is not super reflective as I was expecting. It does have a reflection but nowhere near as bad as a mirror like reflection.

A lot of people need to understand that Apple and Dell come with stuck and dead pixels too and have quality control issues similar to these Korean monitors. I went round and saw a Dell 2412 a few days ago and it had awful backlight bleed, plus a shitty anti glare coating that I really could never stand, unless you like looking at everything with a film grain effect.

If you are on the fence about these monitors definitely consider picking one or two or three up. This is near enough an Apple 27inch IPS for £260. They are so good I almost cried. I was watching the 2560x1440 Timescapes film: http://timescapes.org/ and was just amazed.

Use proper topic for this

I'm very close to purchasing one of these. Any updates on how these displays are working for you all? thanks a lot.

@tetakpatak I’m using the pretty similar Dell U2711 and sadly it’s pretty rubbish. Its surface has some anti-reflective coating that both hurts the eyes and changes the color of individual pixels, the inner bezel reflects the screen enough to distract sometimes, the background lighting is inconsistent and has some light leaks, 4 pixels already died and power consumption as well and heat emission aren’t good either.

Of course I can’t tell which of these factors also apply to the U2713HM and I’m aware that some of my issues are related to just having received a faulty unit.

Does anyone have a problem with CC and grading on these monitors with glass screens? It seems to me that all of my CC and grading looks different on 90% of what everyone else will be looking at the finished product through. I have a couple monitors at my house I'm trying and while one of these type of monitors looks great, it's so far off the others in terms of sharpness and color. Am I over thinking this here? And yes, all monitors have been calibrated with the Spyder 4 Pro and all at 100% sRGB.

@Pavezer Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Maybe it's just the way things are heading but when I grade something on this 27"IPS monitor, then go look at it on a MBP or my girlfriends 23" Matte IPS monitor, it looks very different. I understand it's going to be impossible to grade for every screen and computer but since, I'm guessing, most people will not be viewing on these monitors, is this not the best route. It almost reminds me of the new tv look that drives me crazy. All the HD stuff on those glass screen TV's with the 120hz refresh rate. Drives me crazy to watch anything on there. Of course these don't have that refresh rate but it is leaning that way.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Yes, I've checked lighting. I've tested during daylight hours, during night. Also the Spyder 4 Pro does account for ambient light in your workspace and adjusts your monitors saturation and brightness to that. I guess I'm just thinking into it too much. I'll get a hold of a few post houses here in LA and see what they think.
